Wow! This looks absolutely great. Wonderful work Gil, thanks.

As a result of Jon's request, I have now done the RxMath PDF as well.
Doing another document helped me formalize the process so that I can
automate it and it identified another small issue which I thought had
been corrected. You can download the PDF here
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/82yxqei5ucvub9e/rxmath.pdf?dl=0> for
comparison to the rxmath.pdf that is in the docs folder of your 5.0.0
ooRexx installation or the Files section on SourceForge. The
differences I found are 1) the Copyright dates on the second page now
show -2019, and 2) the flow of the text in some sections is slightly
different due to extra blank lines in the code examples. This issue
was identified and fixed by Erich with a preprocess Rexx program when
building our docs using Publican so it can be adapted to my process if
I am unable to find the cause and change it. His program also needed
to fix blank lines in the Index area but that looked OK to me in my
build. Comments welcome.

Jon,
Yes, of course you are right, I need to do a more complex document to
see if there are other issues in addition to those I've identified so
far. Stay tuned...

Hi Gil,
Looks good to me, but I'm not sure what to look for. Any chance of a
doc with railroad diagrams?

Thanks for the feedback Rony. Anyone else have any comments? If
not, I will start posting comments on the issues I have found
shortly. My goal is to develop a package containing the tools
that anyone can download and install that will allow them to
build our docs on Windows 10 from a fresh checkout from
SourceForge with minimal changes to those files.

Wow, that is *fantastic* news!! Also, looking at your readme.pdf
it looks terrific IMHO!
Very curious what you have come up with to be able to generate
the ooRexx 5.0 documentation yourself� (and also about the
questions that you will pose in order to learn about the current
problems from them and become able to build the ooRexx
documentation in the near future and in a future-safe way)!
Kudos!

I know it has been over a month since I posted the note below
but I now have a lot of progress to report! I have obtained the
tools needed to build our docs - they are open source and seem
well supported - and have successfully built one document using
them on Windows 10. There are no dependencies on Publican other
than three files I chose to retain to simplify the transition.
Installing and using the tools was pretty painless but in doing
so I uncovered a number of issues with our documents, most of
which are due to our use of Publican and what it does "under
the covers". Rather than turning this email into a "book", I
will send separate notes on each issue and the changes needed
in order to use the new tools. In the meantime, here
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/n7p09b6zm0vghqc/readme.pdf?dl=0> is
a link to a file in my Dropbox for the readme.pdf that I built.
Once the link opens in your browser, you can click on the ...
icon on the right which will open a menu that will allow you to
download the file. If you then compare it to the readme.pdf
that is in the docs folder of your 5.0.0 ooRexx installation or
the Files section on SourceForge, you will see it is (almost)
identical. The differences are 1) the text has been updated in
section 2.2, 2) the Copyright dates on the first page now show
-2019, 3) the flow of the text in some sections is slightly
different, in some cases causing text to flow to the next page,
and 4) the Table of Contents has more levels listed. I did not
feel that either of the last two items were worth pursuing. Let
me know what you think after you've had a look.

Just so everyone doesn't think I've abandoned this effort, I am
pursuing another approach to building the docs. You can expect
an update when I've made some more progress.
